The Russian Oreshnik ballistic missile that hit the Ukrainian city of Lviv carried no explosives and hit nothing of military value, implying it was meant to coerce rather than inflict major damage.

Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, has posted a video showing the Oreshnik ballistic missile, issuing threats towards European countries that are prepared to deploy troops to Ukraine after a peace deal is reached.
